The orifice meters the exact volume of gas delivered to each burner, setting the furnace's BTU input and flame quality. A worn, corroded, or incorrectly sized orifice causes lazy yellow flames, sooting, delayed ignition, or improper firing rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Goodman GMT135-5 furnace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel: Natural gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart type: Burner orifice \/ spud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM part number: 10716003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-drilled bore for rated BTU input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction with standard machine threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrifice bore diameter is the single most important dimension in gas metering, and it is drilled to a specific number for the furnace's input rating and altitude. The genuine Goodman spud guarantees the correct bore and thread pitch. Generic orifices are often mismarked or drilled loosely, risking over- or under-firing and unsafe combustion. Always match the OEM number — do not substitute by eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty: Moderate (gas work — pro recommended).\u003c\/strong\u003e Shut off the gas supply and power. Remove the manifold or burner assembly, back out the old orifice with a socket, thread in the replacement, and reassemble. Leak-check all connections with soap solution and verify flame appearance on startup. Because this involves the gas train, we recommend a licensed HVAC technician.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goodman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63058162418035,"sku":"GOODMAN-12456","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nationalhvacparts.com\/products\/oem-goodman-natural-gas-orifice-for-gmt135-5-10716003","provider":"National HVAC Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
